Google chrome or Firefox

[riz]

Is GC any good? No problems with Firefox just feel like maybe im missing out on something?

 

[MikeyK18]

As far as i can gather from people that have tried it, your not missing much mate.

 

[ForceIndia]

I can't get on with it, a bit fiddly after firefox.

 

[Adam]

I made the switch from FF to GC when it first came out. Never looked back since. I just like the simple look of it and its hassle free

What is so good about it?

 

[Adam]

There is nothing spectacular about it don't get me wrong but it just looks clean and neat and the "most visited" titles when you open a new tab/page is a good feature. Also the address bar acts as google search.

Try it for a bit and see

 

[Adam]

Oh and the inbuilt download manager is pretty good as well

 

[cava83]

I quite like the fact that you can drag a tab away from the window and it creates a new separate window!!!!!!!! Awesome !!!!!!!

I used be an IE only user, who said I would never try a different web browser, then I tried FireFox, and I will NEVER look back ! I have tried Google Chrome, and apart from a couple of good ideas and its simple,easy to use design, I really wouldnt bother with it. FireFox far out shines any other browser.

How does it "out shine" GC....?

A couple of months ago I installed GC had a quick look and decided i couldn't be bothered with it. There is nothing wrong with FF.

i use google chrome. used to only use IE, but heard about chrome and gave it a try. its so much faster than IE. i have never used FF so i cant compare it.

Found GC was crashing a lot, after a reformat, it works fine.

Not so keep on GC, just prefer the way IE works even if it isn't as fast. Just use GC for p**n.

 

[Tony Hunter]

I'm no expert but I do find Google Chrome better,and its pretty quick.

Why more customisable, which is a feature I like, reallly good add-on downloads, safer.

 

[Aluco]

used to use FF but used Chrome now for months and tbh would never go back.

 

[David]

google chrome is RAPID!!!

Safer >>>>>>>>> No!

 

[MDP91]

Safer than IE

 

[David]

imo the only thing ff has over gc is ad blocker....aside from that it's slower...

 

[The Boosh!]

FF pwns GC.

end thread.

FF pwns GC.

Dont think so ....

 

[The Boosh!]

Think so

google part owns FF and still invests in its development. FF has been around longer and is better IMO

 

[Adam]

Well I think GC pwns FF

All in my opinion of course:rasp:

 

[MDP91]

This is turning into a browser Fanboy thread ! that said...FF PWNS ! Tbh, its down to whatever you get along with most, as with speeds GC is quicker, but its not like FF is dead beat slow. Foget MS IE, thats shite

 

[bmh.01]

FF all the way, chrome is quick but still has a long way to come imo.

 

[riz]

Chrome is awesome

 

[CrippsCorner]

IE is sooo slow at opening new tabs, will never use it again just for that reason alone.

Never been a fan of FF, a lot of things tend to not display correctly and downloading plug ins for everything gets so boring.

GC is neat, brilliant design. The 'favourites' thing is great, use it all the time! Opening new tabs including in-cognito one's is instant. Have never looked back :clown:

You can get the most visited titles etc when you open a new tab in firefox, just need to download the google toolbar...

yeah but when i open GC , it has CS/Facebook/Newsnow all open at the same time!! amizzing

 

[wsc]

FF takes up too much memory (RAM) basically, that is its biggest downside.

GC uses a lot less memory.

 

[Cookie]

GC is still s**t

Christ you lot must be incredibly simple if you can't figure out how to work FF

 

[Harpham]

Firefox FTW... When i first moved from Internet Explorer to it, I found it well wierd, but now i think its a million times better!
And from what ive seen, probably a million times better than GC!
